Arianne pressed favonovel.com lips together without saying anything. Fatigued, favonovel.com gradually fell asleep.
Not hearing a reply from her, Mary sighed and tucked favonovel.com in.
Almost as if favonovel.com wanted to see favonovel.com make a fool out of herself, Mark came home punctually each day after work and stayed in the living room longer than favonovel.com usually would.
In order to avoid seeing him, Arianne mostly stayed away from the living room and only worked in the kitchen and backyard. She would only clean the living room after favonovel.com went upstairs. It felt nice to stay in each other’s lane without interference.
At the same time, Tiffany was rummaging through favonovel.com room in favonovel.com rented home anxiously. “Mom! Did you see my bankcard?”
Lillian did not pay attention to her, as favonovel.com was having snacks in the living room. “No Find it on your own. You think I’m a thief?”
Tiffany turned the whole house over, but favonovel.com still did not see favonovel.com bankcard. No one had come to visit them either. Other than Lillian, favonovel.com had no other guesses. “Mom, be honest, did you take my bankcard? Why did you take it? You don’t know the password! Give it back to me if you’ve taken it. I need the money for an emergency.”
There was a beat of silence from Lillian before favonovel.com said, “And you told me that you have no money, telling me every day that you’re poor. You must have a lot saved in the card, right? What’s the emergency?”
Tiffany frowned. “I really need the money. Give me my card!”
Seeing that favonovel.com did not look like favonovel.com was kidding, Lillian slowly fished out the bankcard from favonovel.com purse. “I… I spent a little of it.”
Tiffany’s eyelid throbbed with trepidation. “You spent it? How did you use it when you don’t even know my password?”
Lillian answered with slight guilt, “All your passwords are your own birthday… I could guess. I just spent some of your money. You had close to three hundred thousand dollars in there and you hid it! We could’ve lived better, but no, you make your mom live like a beggar. I’ve taken care of you for nothing!”
Tiffany did not have the time to get angry a t Lillian. She had promised Arianne that favonovel.com would hire someone to investigate Mr. Sloane. It was not a small fee and the investigator wanted a deposit first.
When favonovel.com found out favonovel.com balance, Tiffany erupted. “Lillian J. Lane! You call this spending a little?”
Lillian was shocked. “How dare you call me by my name? I’m your mother! Yes, I’ve spent a lot. So what? I don’t even know how much I’ve spent taking care of you. So what if I spend a little of yours? shrieking and screaming, who are you trying to scare?”
Tiffany could no longer take it. “You’ve not earned a single cent since you married my father and you have the gall to say that you took care of me? All the money I spent growing up was my dad’s. The one who carried me in favonovel.com arms and coddled me was the nanny. Other than being pregnant for ten months and giving birth to me, what else did you do? Do you know where this sum of money came from? It’s a settlement from Ethan for breaking up with me! It’s a breakup fee, alright! I planned to save it to buy a house; properties are expensive nowadays. Do you want to spend the rest of your life renting one? You’re not Mrs. Lane anymore. My dad’s dead! You are nothing, understand? I work two jobs a day to feed you, but you’re still not satisfied. If you go on like this, I’ll stop caring about you!”
After venting, Tiffany did not want to face Lillian, nor did favonovel.com want to continue arguing. Without a care for the rain outside, favonovel.com busted out of the door.
The rain felt cold on favonovel.com face. Tiffany’s clothes were drenched instantly.
She found a roof to stay away from the rain and called Arianne. “Ari, I’m sorry, I don’t have any money anymore… I should’ve known. My mom has favonovel.com eyes on my money. She secretly spent it all. It was so much money. What’s left isn’t even enough to hire someone to investigate Mr. Sloane. I’ve had enough! There’s no hope in buying a house… There’s no hope anymore. I feel like reality has punched me in the gut. I have nothing anymore…”
